A Systematic Review and Analysis of Palmer Type I Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Injuries: Outcomes of Treatment.
Article in Journal of hand and microsurgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries can present incidentally as an asymptomatic lesion or can cause acute and chronic pain. This study compared different treatment approaches for symptomatic Palmer Type 1 TFCC injuries and rates of improvement using a systematic review of the literature. Two hundred thirty-one articles were identified, 43 met criteria and were included. Two of these articles indicated conservative therapy may be adequate. Patients who underwent debridement for any Type 1 Palmer class returned to work at a rate of 92% (
